We live in different versions of humanity. We’ve spent decades building systems that scale intelligence, but we haven’t built anything that reliably scales human maturity. AI literacy will not fix something more foundational: Human literacy. 📌 Link to essay: open.substack.com/pub/humanasu...

Unequivocally, introspection is non-negotiable if we want to act as healthy humans in a world that is becoming more complex and unpredictable. Lack of introspection is not a strength. Here's what it means for leadership, and the better alternative. 📌 Access Gumroad: lindsayruiz.gumroad.com/l/rlqbr

@vdeminstitute.bsky.social “The level of democracy for the average citizen in Western Europe and North America is at its lowest level in over 50 years, primarily due to ongoing autocratization in the USA. The USA loses its long-term status as a liberal democracy…” www.v-dem.net/documents/75...

The happiest people aren’t trying to be happy. They’re trying to answer their calling. 🧵

They really want us dumb, unaware and broken. Beware.

"Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society." -Joni Askola

As AI continues to reshape how we live and how we work, moral distrust, power concentration and human capacity are becoming lagging capabilities. The central challenge of this century? Scaling humanity. 📌 You can access my field research here: lindsayruiz.gumroad.com/l/qkjaqy

The next time someone in the media repeats the GOP talking points about the SAVE Act just being a voter ID bill, show them this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

He warned us he would run our country like his businesses.

If the Democrats nominate anyone who talks of ‘looking forward’ or ‘not rehashing the past,’ I will officially leave the party & become an Independent. I will support ONLY candidates who promise to prosecute every Republican who’s been in office during the Trump administration.

If you think the SAVE Act isn’t about disenfranchising women, look at who’s pushing it. Scott Yenor, tied to a men only Christian nationalist group and the Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025. #NoPayToVoteSaveAct Pass it on 👇🏼

"He (Trump) suspends the rules, generates a crisis, then tries to solve it by using brute force to reconstitute the very international co-operation he’s dismantled." Then wonders why he failed. It took a rare ability to bankrupt his own casinos. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

"He doesn't care about the distinction between truth and lies...Truth has no meaning to him. All that has any meaning to him in any given moment is whether or not he's receiving praise or adulation...He thinks he can create his own reality & the great megalomaniacs of history have always done that."

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran. The answer is NO. We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

We have a power problem: it’s concentrated in the hands of the dumbest psychopaths the world has ever seen. The world is not survivable in the hands of people building and deploying advanced systems and running entire countries from the judgment of a traumatized child.

So it begins …

For those who would like an explainer on Citizens United and what it has done, this is a good read. Dark money and Super PACs come into play. This alone shows how bad a decision this was and needs to be overturned. #SheShed #EndCitizensUnited www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

It’s so exhausting to wake up everyday in a society of bystanders that critizes who posts political content MORE than the incompetent barbarie of their own government.

I unsubscribed.

The fact that Trump is still President and hasn’t been arrested is absolutely mind boggling and pure madness. The global destruction and total chaos that he has caused…and CONTINUES TO CAUSE is total insanity. This can and should be stopped!! WTAF Republicans!??😡🤬

Like protecting humanity and saving Democracy from the psychopaths that want to own us.

Sen. Kennedy took issue with this post below. Since our exchange, I have been inundated with unhinged emails and voicemails, including this one: deranged, violent hostility. But over the last decade, I've gotten used to these responses from nativists.

To the women-empowerment-women-supporting-women pushing “AI at all cost”: You’re actively enabling the men whose tech will be the demise of (especially) Liberal women with high dregrees. You think you’re beating them at their own game. But you’re just running their errands. My Q to you is: Why?

President Lyndon B. Johnson used the power of the bully pulpit to demand that every citizen be granted the equal right to vote. Today, we have a president demanding that Congress pull back that very right. bit.ly/47Fxr3s

*hand chop* 🤣

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

“It’s unfortunate that senators find learning about this administration’s ethnic cleansing fantasies more revolting than the existence of those fantasies.”

My argument with a GOP senator exposed how the Trump administration’s extremism gets a pass from Congress www.ms.now/opinion/sen-...

What kind of humans must we become to responsibly wield the power we are creating?

Struggling times to be an idealist who also sees through the darkest motives in everything and the traits widely accepted (and glamorized) as “success.” Not sure will see profound change, if at all. So keep writing, creating, speaking up, showing up. Perhaps therein lies the shift we’re so yearning.

Somewhere along the way, commodity became our highest virtue. We traded human agency for an exaggerated promise of progress, while quietly bankrupting our capacity for depth. We’re living through a strange inversion of value where empathy costs too much, and dehumanization pays well. 1/2

Dehumanization is highly profitable.

Online bullying leaves no bruises. But the damage is real. If you’re a parent, guardian, or educator — know what it looks like. Know what to do. Because children seldom ask for help until it’s gone too far. Bullying is never okay. Silence makes it worse.

"The spirit of liberty requires moral courage among the people who are elected to Congress... but it also requires all of us It requires us to speak out without fear It requires us to tell others unpleasant truths that they do not want to hear."

Yay, Anthropic! Sue the Pentagon's ass off! "Trying to crush a business because the government doesn’t like what the business does is a textbook violation of the First Amendment." From @elienyc.bsky.social
